I just update my smoke to SAP SP1 today, but I don't have the preview from my broadcast monitor anymore...(Damn!! Sometime I hate updating the software when u already have stable system..!!)
I already update my AJA driver to 10.0.1, and from System Checker software, everything look good.
I run Smoke 2012 Adv Ext1 SP1. The hardware is old, like 5years now.
The way I remember it our GFX card is not powerful enough to feed a broadcast monitor all the time, the output only comes up there when I'm in player.
But, unless my memory's even worse than I thought, I used to get a full screen output from the viewport that was selected (with the blue 'Monitor' display) in Action and Batch.
I can't seem to get this working again. I suppose it's in preferences, but the multiview section is greyed out.
I include 2 shots.
In the Broadcast Monitor Preferences, under the Broadcast Colour Space, when exactly should I use the "Normal" option, and when should I use the "With Headroom" option?
the "Include YUV Headroom" option during Import and Export of Quicktime files, but it's the Broadcast Monitor option.
How to change 2k in smoke Broadcast timing??
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am here making some work braodcast safe for a client and came acroos some footage that is peaked at 100. What is a ok level to bring that back to?
I was thinking to myself, how far back could you bring it before it changed perceptually? I was thinking to bring it back to 80. I had this in the back of my mind while thinking about this. URL....
In terms of motion graphics and also in terms of live footage.
Is it possible to lock the CFX output to the broadcast monitor so that I can see the changes I make on the image in the broadcast monitor while working in the 1-up view? This way the CFX schematic can fill my 23 inch computer screen. So far i have only been able to do that with the 2-up, etc views. As soon as I switch to the 1-up view or swipe to the left while in 2-up view (which switches it back to the 1-up) the broadcast monitor shows whatever I am working on be it schematic or other.
When I am in the 2-up view and I lock the right part of the 2 up view to the broadcast monitor I usually maximize the left view to fill the screen. It however does not fully fill the screen and keeps the right view scaled to a very small size on the right.
Having a very noticeable delay to my broadcast monitor. When I play sequences through FCP7 it's fine. Running an SDI signal out of an AJA IO XT into an SDI input on a FSI BM 210. Do I need to change some preferences in Smoke?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if Autodesk Smoke has a broadcast safe filter like Final Cut Pro?
I searched quite a bit online with no answers.
what is the workflow for making footage broadcast legal in smoke.
I have read different explanations on the web, but still not totally clear on it.
how Brian Milligan creates broadcast safe.
When I have a Primary and Secondary set on the timeline my boradcast monitor only displays the secondary unless I hav ethe big viewer up. I'd like to lock the output to the monitor to always be the primary output track regardless of player status.
Smoke 2013 Ext1
The GUI and broadcast monitors in all 3 of our Smokes (Mac) are out of sync by 2 frames.
I know there is a Audio offset, but that will always throw one of the monitors out.
Is there a playback delay or offset that can be used to sync bother the UI monitor and the Broadcast Monitor?
Currently having to use the shortcut Shift+B+F13 to switch between Sync to Hi-Res and Sync to Broadcast depending on the situation.
When I go into CFX/Action my broadcast monitor switches to the schematic view. Since I already have the schematic view on my computer monitor I want the broadcast monitor to keep the final output. I looked in the preferences but I can't find the right setting. Is there a away to do this?

View 6 Replies View RelatedA project that I will soon start is a two-screen projection composed of 2 HD screens.
I wonder if it's possible to set up Smoke 2013 to output 2 HD streams simultaneously in split mode - one half of a timeline goes to one screen, and the other half goes to the other.
If it is possible, what kind of hardware would this setup require?
When doing a import of 3D model or choosing a font, I don't get preview, just a bunch of empty thumbnails... why... and how to update.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIs there any way that Smoke can see/output sub-blacks and super whites? Can't find any way of seeing them on my scope, Smoke just clamps everything. It won't even see anything below zero in order for me to make a correction on it, everything seems to be clamped on import. I'm using ProRes HQ footage.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI am experimenting with Smoke 2013 pre-trial and I am having issues with importing images and video with alpha channels.
1. If I have a layered Photoshop file or png with an alpha channel (a still frame lower third), I see that I can import it as a multi layered clip, but what is the best way to have it in the sequence to show up properly?
2. If I have a QuickTime in animation format or Pro Res4444 format with an embedded alpha, how can I import that file to show and cut it on a top layer to animate above my video?
Can Smoke support the OFX architecture?
View 1 Replies View RelatedDoes Smoke have selection functionality similar to that of Combustion? As an example, you might want to selectively blur part of an image. In Combustion, you would draw a selection and then apply an operator above the selection to achieve this. I don't see a similar selection tool function in Smoke, but I imagine you could achieve the same effect by duplicating a layer and using a Gmask via the Wipe timeline FX.does Smoke not have a selection tool similar to Combustion?

Smoke 2013 Ext1
17" Mac Book Pro
OS X 10.8.5
16 GB RAM
I tried Smoke 2013 PR2 on my MacBook Air 11".
It uses all the available RAM that is 4GB.
Same experience with Smoke 2012 on my MacBook pro 13"".
Is that normal?
I have RED footage which I exported as EXR. When I import them back in, they look exactly like the RED footage. But when I import the EXR in Fusion, export it back out, and then import that EXR into Smoke, it looks brighter, although I didn't change anything in Fusion. (when I compare the EXR from Smoke and the EXR from fusion in my finder on my desktop, they look exactly the same). So what is Smoke doing with the "foreign" exr on import?I was also playing with the LUT settings. I get a result which is close, but I need to be exact.

View 9 Replies View RelatedWhat is the best way to downconvert 5D HD to SD?
I converted the h.264 files to uncompressed 10bit. Bringing in the footage and XML was fine, but as soon as I resize to PAL (the timeline was changed to PAL, as was the output on the AJA) the picture starts anti aliasing in detail areas. I have processed this with every filter in Smoke with no satisfactory result.
I am having issues for a long time regarding importing XML into smoke 2013. Will try and explain you in breif.
First When we try an import XML into smoke it just doesnt do anything, in the message history box it comes up saying FOUND 0 SOURCES.
Nothing gets imported at all. No footage is imported, nothing is shown in timeline as well.
Second For a different project when the XML does get imported, the videos get imported but then again nothing is coming up in the timeline and in the message history box we get the following error.
XML Validation Failed.
Cannot process unliked media.
we have checked all the import options to make this work, including max up level and the rest but nothing is working.
